This Just In: Brooklyn Circus SHIPS Varsity Blazer

Japanese retailer SHIPS turns 35 this year and in celebration of the occasion, the heritage-focused emporium is creating a special capsule collection of goods for its own private label. Brooklyn Circus, a brand SHIPS and its patrons are more than familiar with, stepped up to the creative plate by issuing their newly-created "Varisty Blazer" for the occasion (modeled by Street Etiquette’s Joshua Kissi and Travis Gumbs above). Blending the classic (and of-the-moment) varsity jacket with the essential American navy blazer, the BKc guys whipped up the Loro Piana wool number with meticulous details like striped Japanese cotton lining and brass-metal buttons complete with crests, and crafted it in the good ol’ U.S.A. The jacket’s in pretty good company too as it joins a roster of goods that includes pieces from U.S. colleagues like Alden and Gitman as well as Barbour and Trickers from across the pond, just to name a few. The whole lot is extremely limited, especially the varsity blazer at just 50 units but luckily, you can get your hands on one without flying over twelve hours.
